Topo To Raster By File- Invalid Feature Class

DaveJohnson

I am trying to reuse the output .txt parameter file from Topo To Raster in Topo To Raster By File. This txt was generated by the GP Tool itself.

Problem is: When I attempt to use this txt as the input parameter file for 'Topo To Raster By File' I get the following error:
ERROR 010134: Input does not contain a feature class. That's the extent of the error message, so I've turned to the forums.

I'm at 9.3.1.

Here is an example of the input txt file:

POINT C:\Data\DEM\Test11.gdb\PntFC3720452300WC20050817 Z
POINT C:\Data\DEM\Test11.gdb\PntFC3720452400WC20050817 Z
POINT C:\Data\DEM\Test11.gdb\PntFC3720453300WC20050817 Z
POINT C:\Data\DEM\Test11.gdb\PntFC3720453400WC20050817 Z
ENFORCE ON
DATATYPE CONTOUR
ITERATIONS 40
ROUGHNESS_PENALTY 0.25000000000
DISCRETE_ERROR_FACTOR 1.00000000000
VERTICAL_STANDARD_ERROR 0.25000000000
TOLERANCES 2.50000000000 100.00000000000
CELL_SIZE 20.00000000000
MARGIN 20

Any help on this issue? Have a feeling it's the auto-generated syntax in the txt file. Have no issue running the Topo To Raster tool, but I'm working to create this with Python as part of a bigger routine and this is causing severe delay. Ironically the help on these two tools says using this txt input parameter file is supposed to be 'easier'... Before I start in on that... is (are) my FC name(s) too long? Will be checking while awaiting replies.

Thanks, DJ

Please post a copy of your input file that your are passing into TopoToRasterByFile.

Dear Steve Lynch,

I am also got the same error in 10.5 & 10.5.1 version, but same code work in 10.2, please suggest updated version where successfully work Topo To Raster By File.

There is a problem with the way that TopoToRasterByFile treats paths and feature class names that have spaces.

Here is the "bug" number for future reference.
NIM080744 TopoToRasterByFile throws ERROR 010134 Input does not contain a feature class. when the path to an input feature class has a space or input feature class name has a space.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

I was getting the same error with ArcGIS 10.0 SP 4. I exported my File GDB FC to a SHP file and still got the error. The path name to both the GDB and the SHP file had spaces. I copied the SHP file to a location with no spaces in the path and Topo to Raster By File worked. Since ArcGIS has been reading my paths with spaces OK, it must be the spaces in the text file parameter casuing the problem.

This is a bug in 9.3 and 9.3.1
It is fixed in version 10.

A work around woud be to have your feature data in a shapefile rather than a file geodatabase, viz.,
POINT C:\Data\DEM\PntFC3720452300WC20050817.shp Z
POINT C:\Data\DEM\PntFC3720452400WC20050817.shp Z
...

Sorry for the inconvenience

Hi, David!

Did you ever resolve this? Was the problem the "Contour" data type that you had specified? I have found that if I use shapefiles, the tool appears to run but crashes right at the end...apparently when it is attempting to write out the file.

Could sure use some help if you have some to give.

Thanks!

Not sure about your question, but you should be using spot or point or whatever the other option is in topo to raster unless your input files are lines named with the prefix "pnt..." (in the datatype field)
